Fleming College’s Official Song Remastered For 50th Anniversary

"Let the Deed Show", Fleming College’s official song that was commissioned for the College’s 25th anniversary, has been remastered and updated for Fleming’s 50th.
 
The song details the life of Sir Sandford Fleming, the College’s namesake, and his contributions to society. Written by local performer Danny Bronson, Bronson returned to the studio recently at Haggarty Studios in Peterborough with some of the finest studio musicians in Canada to record the new rendition of the song.

Bronson, who has breathed new life into the classic song, performs "Let the Deed Show" every year at all of Fleming College’s convocation ceremonies at its Frost and Sutherland campuses.

Bronson, along with students, alumni and employees, will be in attendance at the college’s Sutherland Campus 50th Anniversary celebration on September 22nd from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Fleming College Has Special Ceremony On 100th Aniversary Of Sir Sandford Fleming's Death

On the 100th anniversary of his death, Sir Sandford Fleming’s life and legacy were celebrated with a ceremony and the unveiling of a portrait of historic significance Wednesday (July 22nd) at the Sutherland Campus.

Fleming College President Dr. Tony Tilly gratefully accepted a portrait of Fleming, on long-term loan by the Royal Canadian Institute For the Advancement of Science (RCI)—the oldest scientific society in Canada and one that Fleming and a small group of civil engineers, architects and surveyors founded in 1849.

Fleming’s great-great-grandson, Jock Fleming, Councillor of the RCI, and Helle Tosine, President of the RCI, presented the portrait to Dr. Tilly.

The portrait was painted in the early 1890s by J.W.L. Forster, the leading Canadian portrait artist of the late 1800s and early 1900s.
